Ça Veut Jouer (Ou Bien?) is a witty and poetic one-man show by Robert Bouvier, who steps in as the unlikely Prince Siegfried when a ballet company is held up at the airport. Drawing on his own experiences as actor, director, and theater manager, Bouvier humorously recounts his artistic journey—from his first school play to leading the Théâtre du Passage in Neuchâtel—while sharing behind-the-scenes tales of politicians, patrons, and temperamental artists. Directed by Joëlle Bouvier and Simon Romang, the performance blends storytelling, music, and theatrical charm into an unforgettable solo experience.
